Have you considered any alternative explanations/diagnosis? Rates of misdiagnosis for psychiatric disorders are significant (even more so in women, anecdotally) and it could be the reason why the treatments aren't working. Depression can manifest as a consequence of untreated ADHD, for example.

Self-diagnosis is generally frowned upon but I think everyone owes it to themselves to at least try to find explanations that they can discuss with professionals.
